Current time (10/24/2021 7:12 PM): I’m sitting in my kids’ room, on the floor, alone, crying, while I sort laundry. This job isn’t even mine, yet here I am. Not where I want to spend my Sunday night, but I almost knew at 7am it would end like this. Why does it feel like moms … Continue reading It was an Alexander (not the great) kind of day
One of my favorite things about New Year’s Eve is reflecting on the last year. This has been such a year of growth for me, but I can’t discount all that has gotten me here over the past decade since we are also rolling into a new one. I started the decade as a 20-year-old … Continue reading Oh, Hey 2020
If I could go back in time and talk to this girl, I would have so much to tell her. This girl was in the middle of a divorce. She was lost, and afraid to be alone. She wasn’t sure how she was capable of tackling this world alone. She did not know if she … Continue reading If I could talk to her
Play the hand you’re dealt, and trust that God is Sovereign. This was a small part of our church service yesterday. This was shared by our pastor from his friend’s social media post. At first you read this and you think “sure, great words to live by” but it turns out that this woman has … Continue reading Play the hand you’re dealt, and trust that God is Sovereign.
So tonight my youngest and I had our typical roller coaster of a night. Things we’re fine until bedtime. Really good actually. He came to snuggle with me on the couch and told me he loves me to the moon and back. I held him for a few, and gave him a few aggressive kiss … Continue reading 76 minutes strong
I’ve been so busy, I haven’t even had time to think about writing anything lately. I’ve had lots of fun events over the past month, and I feel so grateful for each and every moment. I’ll say the time period from February 22-March 22 of this year is the busiest I have been in a … Continue reading There is no point
Wait a second. It’s 2019? I can’t believe it. The time between Christmas and New Years is so surreal. I never know what day it is, where I am supposed to be, or what is actually happening. It’s like time goes forward and backward and in loops a little. (Jeremy Bearimy time…anyone a The Good … Continue reading Bring it on, 2019
I’ll start this one by saying: stick with me. I’m in a rambling mood and I don’t feel great. But here we go! Have you ever seen the movie The Butterfly Effect? Or I guess the more unlikely source is that you heard about it in regards to chaos theory? I doubt most of my … Continue reading The Butterfly Effect
I was recently asked a question about why I am single. I think it was literally “why don’t you have a boyfriend?!” As soon as it was asked I had chills. It was truly a question that made me think….for a while. And I didn’t realize how active I had been in making sure I … Continue reading It wasn’t you, it was me
Today was a very strange day, with a lot of small things that happened and made it a big-ish day. To explain fully, I have to backtrack a little bit to Friday night. My company had their annual Christmas party, and for the first time I took a date. (Okay, maybe now I feel like … Continue reading Little big moments
